Anybody in the UK, M4 corridor-ish have any recommendations for parking when driving into London?

Planning on going in for a day one Saturday, and the train prices for 4 of us are eye watering 😢🚝 (vs petrol & parking)

Currently considering Westfield, but wondering if there’s anywhere better?

@psfshr If you're only there during the day I tend to park at Brent Cross shopping center (free parking) then get the tube into London.

@Marcus A good option, but I suspect the slog round the M25 would offset most of the gain 🤷🏻‍♂️

@psfshr I park at Westfield White City and then take the tube or bus from there. Tends to be about £12 parking for the day. Toilets and food and coffee available.

@dan I think I saw one of your earlier posts about it which is where I got the idea 👍

And with two kids in the car food and toilets are useful to have!

@psfshr It’s a while since I’ve done it but Hammersmith was my go to as there’s parking near the tube station

Look at places along cross rail would be my other suggestions and ass the stations with commuter car parks will be quieter on a Sat

Other alternative is to look at railcards - we got ours really cheaply using Tesco Clubcars vouchers
